Live wrestling shows are awesome. Such a different experience being part of the energy of a crowd, hearing the quieter chants that don’t make it on to tv (which are usually super funny), hearing the chops ring through an arena. Highly recommend to anyone who’s never been

New review! Nioh 3 is an incredible evolution of the Nioh formula that successfully transforms its mission structure into an open world, while revamping the already best-in-class combat, making it the clear king of soulslike combat.

My Nioh 3 review is on the way. Had a bit of a snag in the video that delayed it, but it should be up shortly and i'll get to do my usual "New review" post.

Fighting game friends, I need help against Dhalsim. This stretchy man knocked out me out of Evo, knocked me out of bracket last week, and this week I lost to two of them back to back. Cammy is supposed to be favored here and I am just at a loss of how to play the game against him

I reviewed Cairn for @ign.com. It's a remarkable game about a mountain that has never been summited, and Aava, a remarkable woman determined to make it to the top, no matter the cost, and the kind of person she has to be to make the ascent. The climb is all there is.
Cairn Review - IGN
A mountain climbing game that's both challenging and rewarding.

Ranking the success of introducing things to my son:
1. Pokémon: absolutely obsessed

3. Astro Bot: big fan of using the whistle to call and dismiss the bots
4. Mario: ehh he’s not super into it
5. Vegetables: zero interest

Will is pound for pound one of the best writers in this business. He’s witty, always has a relatable anecdote to connect readers to what he’s writing about, and can whup me in Guilty Gear Strive, which is no small feat
Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Wait no one told me Battler from Umineko is in Trails
Beyond the Horizon is my favorite of the Calvard games. Aaron is still probably my favorite character from the series, and you can't convince me that he isn't a fill in for the players. Shit gets crazy in this new game

Made top 8 again. Still far off from my goal of getting top 4, but if I can consistently get top 8 I’ll be feeling pretty good!

It's hard to ask for writing work when so many people are losing their gigs left and right.
I have a FT thing outside of game, so prioritize those who don't.
With that said, I'd like to do more than I did last year.
If you need game reviews, previews, features, tech stuff, etc. - I'm available

This was a labor of love that I worked on the last week or so. It’s a general guide on how to get good at 2D fighters. I hope this reaches people that are into them, but maybe don’t have a gameplan that sets them up for success. youtu.be/E6XeqPrnNzg?...

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be resuming my daily news writer role at Insider Gaming.
So, needless to say, I am open for game journalism work. If you’re looking for a reviewer, previewer, news and/or guide writer, as well as mock reviews, please reach out. Thank you.

Gonna do a first playthrough of Repo over on the twitch channel. I am terrible with these types of games, so fingers crossed that I don't wake up the whole house. twitch.tv/jurassicrabbit and twitch.tv/phillmreich for @phillmreich.bsky.social's perspective.
